Car feature I’ve never seen, does it exist?

I’m sure it must do, but I’ve never seen or even heard of a car having it.

And electrically adjustable interior rear view mirror.

I briefly pondered this after getting into the car which had previously been driven by mrs H. I squeezed myself in, pressed a button and the seat, wing mirrors and steering wheel all whirred and moved into positions more suitable for someone 6ft tall.

Did the W140 have it? Might be misremembering :?
I'll have to check The Phaeton as well, it seems like the sort of thing Piech would have gone for.

You’d think it’d be pretty easy to do, memory electric wing mirrors have been around for a long long time, surely just needs a smaller version of that? Mirrors already have electronics and auto dimming etc

The R129 SL Mercedes definitely had electrically adjustable but I can’t remember seeing if it did it off the memory button.

Dave!

The R129 is the car which came to mind - I think it was stored with the seat memory because logically that’s why you’d do it in the first place.
